Following former President Bill Clinton's hospitalization to undergo a procedure on his heart, several conservative media figures used the incident to attack Democratic health care reform efforts. For example, Rush Limbaugh said he was "thankful we don't yet have Obamacare," or "the death panel" might not have approved Clinton's surgery.

On Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade and Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. criticized President Obama for not holding press conference since July, which Johnson claimed was a "tactic" to "avoid hard questions." But Fox News' newfound concern with Obama's purported press conference neglect stands in stark contrast to Fox's broadcast network's refusal to air both Obama's July and April 2009 conferences; and at the time of his most recent press conference, Fox News hosts claimed Obama was "overexposed."

Fox News has seized upon reports that Canadian Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams is seeking medical treatment in the United States to criticize health care reform, claiming that his medical decision casts doubt on the Canadian system and that the Democrats' health care reform legislation would "change our system to be more like Canada's." In fact, the health care legislation proposed by both the House and Senate is not modeled after the Canadian single-payer system and maintains the majority of the private health care industry.

Fox & Friends' hosts and the New York Post editorial board complained that the "near-five-hour delay" (or "three-and-a-half hour delay") of President Obama's press conference addressing the intelligence review of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's alleged attempt to set off a bomb on a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas day was "disconcerting," "strange and eerie," "dysfunctional," and "not what the White House should be doing." In fact -- as Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy at one point acknowledged -- administration officials stated that the delay was required to declassify the summary of a report on the attempted attack which was released following the conference.

Throughout the morning, Fox & Friendsexpressed dismay over how --and why -- President Obama's terrorism press conference yesterday was delayed by three and a half hours.

Looking visibly annoyed, Gretchen Carlson said she had expected to hear something "shocking" from the president but "did not hear anything new" and wondered, "Why was there that three and a half hour delay? The president was supposed to come out at 1 p.m. and give us this shocking revelation. And then he did, in fact, not come out until 4:30 p.m. Eastern time." Later in the show, Peter Johnson Jr. told Brian Kilmeade that it seemed like there was "confusion" at the White House because "first of all, it took them hours to get the president out there. They kept on pushing back the time of the press conference." They agreed that the delay was "strange and eerie," and Johnson added, "It's dysfunctional, it shows disorganization, it's not what the White House should be doing."

And then there was this:

Hmmm, it's funny that they seem to care so much about what Obama revealed or whether the press conference started on time. Because if you were watching Fox News last night, you wouldn't have been able to watch it in its entirety. They cut away from it a third of the way in to show Glenn Beck.

In purporting to air Howard Dean's comments opposing the Senate health care bill, Fox & Friends omitted his statement that the "problem" with the bill is that with the removal of the public option, "we are now committed to a solution using the private insurance companies." At no point in the segment - during which Dean's opposition to the bill was repeatedly conflated with that of the tea party attendees - did Fox draw a connection between Dean's opposition to the bill and the removal of the public option from the bill.

Trumpeting a report by Sen. John McCain and Sen. Tom Coburn on "wasted" stimulus funds, Fox & Friends hosts Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson, and Peter Johnson Jr. repeatedly claimed that $54 million in stimulus money went to "save" a wine-tour train in Napa Valley, when in fact, the funds are for an Army Corps of Engineers project "designed to minimize flooding of downtown Napa," which requires the relocation of the Wine Train.

On Fox & Friends, guest host Peter Johnson Jr. said there is an "amazing disconnect" between White House economic advisers Christina Romer and Larry Summers over whether or not the recession is over, after he aired clips of Summers saying that "everybody agrees that the recession is over" and Romer saying that, in her mind, "of course" the recession is not over. However, Fox & Friends omitted the part of Romer's comments in which she said we've "reached" the end of the recession according to "the official definition," "at least in terms of GDP" -- a statement that is consistent with Summers' remarks.
